Detailed Solution

Irrigation is the process of providing water to crops and plants to aid in their growth.

Irrigation water is commonly obtained from dams. When a dam is constructed, water is dammed behind it, forming a reservoir. This water can then be discharged into canals or pipelines, which distribute it to fields and crops.

Tap water is rarely used for irrigation because it contains chemicals and minerals that can harm plants.

Sewage water contains a variety of contaminants and pathogens that can be harmful to plants, animals, and humans and it is not typically used for irrigation.

Sea water contains high levels of salt, which can be harmful to most plants, and hence sea water is not commonly used for irrigation.
